Derby Shifts as Rashford Returns | MLS News

The Manchester derby is back with a vengeance, and this year’s clash feels like a turning point. City’s Elliot Anderson dubs them “kings of Manchester,” while United, still haunted by their 13-year title drought, stay grounded under Carrick. Rashford, once banished, returns with seven goals against City in 23 games — and a chance to prove his worth. Maresca, who’s seen City’s dominance as an assistant, knows Haaland and Foden will lead the charge. Lineups are stacked: United with Lammens, Maguire, and Rashford; City with Donnarumma, Guéhi, and Haaland. This isn’t just rivalry — it’s legacy on the line.
